M-38 Helmet

Article about: I've had this helmet for years now, it had been repainted and a silly decal added. The paint had started to craze, and flake badly. It looked awful. I tried stripping it to find it's origina

    Thank you Terry, when I now look at M-38s, the first thing I will to, is to look for the "groove" tool marks on the "rolled fold".

    This is my mate's piece, see how prominent/defined in places the "groove" is (third picture).

    Also how shallow it can be (second picture).

    Due to the tooling process, M-38s helmets will have different shaped/style grooves.

    Even the number seems to be very faded.

    Hopefully this thread will help some what in identifying genuine types .

    Your friend's M38 is attractive but do you have a good close up of the decal? Conventional wisdom says that CKL marked M38's do not have factory applied decals, but maybe this one is the exception to the rule. Or maybe it is a field applied decal.

    Cheers,
    Terry

    The "CKL" M-38 shown, is a completely different helmet to my friends one, so, it's two different helmets.

    My friends one is stamped ET.

    My mistake.

    Many thanks to Terry "M38" for his kind help, cheers mate.
